I was just about to toss my breakfast when I saw something unusual in the pan—but what I learned afterward changed my mind entirely. It all started after a regular grocery trip to our local supermarket.
It’s a store we trust: everything’s fresh, the prices are fair, and we’ve never had any real complaints. We grabbed a dozen eggs, as we do every week, and thought nothing of it.
But the next morning, while making breakfast, I cracked open an egg and noticed something odd.Inside were small white lumps—slightly translucent, jelly-like, and definitely not what I expected to see first thing in the morning. Honestly, it didn’t look very appetizing.
It turns out these small white clumps aren’t uncommon at all. According to food experts, they’re typically deposits of either calcium or protein that form during the egg’s natural development.
They can appear when hens are under stress or consuming nutrient-enriched feed, especially high in calcium.
